Hunting fatality

An Odessa, TX man was killed while hunting when his friend's shotgun malfunctioned. According to the news brief, the "chamber exploded". I have been unable to get any more information as to what exactly happened. If any THR member in the Odessa, TX or Jal, NM area can help with info, maybe we can use it to help prevent tradgedies like this in the future.

I would have guessed obstructed bbl or wrong ammo, but since it was a shotgun I am curious as well.
